5 Eagle Buttons Today WOW

john37115 · Feb 23, 2008

I went out with brother KirkTN today to a 200 acre farm he got us permission to hunt. There was some beautiful sites to hunt 2 maybe 3 old house places. Owner told us a cannon ball was found on the property about 20 years ago. No civil war finds today but some cool relics. I found 1 great seal eagle button and thought thats gonna kill KirkTN when he see's this. I went on about detectin when I started to think I should really pound that area where I found the button so I walked back over and immediately hit another one I then got serious and started really going slow and coming at it from different angles and wound up digging 5 in all. 3 - 23mm coat buttons and 2 - 15mm cuff buttons. When I couldn't find anymore I walked over to KirkTN nonchalantly and said are you finding anything. He started showing me his finds and I started to smile about to bust. I started by saying I got proof you need to buy you one of these Nautilus machines now. He said why and I said well I dug 5 eagle buttons today. He said Bullsh-t. You should have seen his eyes as I pulled out the buttons. Today turned out to be one of those days that really makes you look forward to the next hunt. Kirk found some nice finds also but I think I put a good ol country MDing woopin on him today.

John, excellent finds. Really, I think you should of replanted one of them so Kirk could find. Would you do that for your sweet lil brother?

I think you two should made a trip to the Louisiana Bayou Hunt...really not terribly far. Come on down!

Looks like you are getting the hang of the Naughty! I love mine especially with the 15" coil. Buttons are post CW but very nice! Keep at it!

Thanks Mac, I wish they were CW buttons but I'll take them. I know if I keep researching and being persistant I will get on an unknown CW camp/skirmish site. I have yet to find a 3-ringer and I am dying to see one pop out of the ground.

Dan I appreciate your kind words. I think after a couple months on this machine. I will be dangerous. We are very fortunate to have gotten permission to hunt this land and I feel it is very promising.

Thanks Mike I do love this machine so far I've not found a situation yet couldn't handle. Is the 15" coil that much heavier than the 10" and how much depth would you say you gain? I am dying to find some actual civil war buttons.

Riverrat I wish I had thought to do that to Kirk. I remember when he brought me coffee one cold day and while I was having a drink he slipped a large cent in the hole I was digging and after the coffee I gave up on the hole and kicked the dirt back in. The end of the day came and Kirk ask me if I had found anything I said nothing he said are you sure. I knew something was up thats when he confessed. I'm glad he did or the large cent would have been gone. LOL -- I would like to go to the Louisiana Hunt. I haven't thought much about it, I'll talk to Kirk maybe we can make it happen.
